Vid Post - Dynamite Remaster | Fast Car (Feature-and-a-Half)

So! I was gone not because anything happened, just because I was feeling guilty - this time, because of how long it's been taking me to remaster Dynamite now that I have clean copies of the episodes. (Reclipping is hateful.) But at last, I have something to show for it. \o/

More details and lyrics can be found at the old vid post; this vid is almost the same except it's higher-quality and has been slightly edited. Embed below the cut, if you want to give the shiny version a look!

So when I said I wanted to vid everything to Taio Cruz, what I really meant was I wanted to keep vidding Korra to Taio Cruz. The very first time I heard Fast Car, I knew I was not going to be able to resist trying to vid Korra/Asami to it.

This is my first ever attempt to actually construct an alternate narrative in a vid, so! Don't judge me too harshly, but do feel free to offer technical concrit. It's for the best, I have no idea what I'm doing. :D

I'm in a battle with my heartbeat.The more I struggle, the more I get deep.I go full throttle down the dark streets,and there is trouble ahead.

I get weak -it's like I'm running through a red light.Girl, you know you make me weak.I should be hitting on the brakes like, harder, harder.

Both of these are brilliant, especially Fast Car, which is everything I want out of Korra! Korra and Asami! Being badasses together! Also friends (and ~more~ ;D)! (I found your constructed narrative really easy to follow, by the way, thumbs up!)

\o/ YAY THANK YOU. I've watched it so many times that I had absolutely no idea whether anybody else would get anything out of it, so I am SO GLAD you could follow it. Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked them!

Sorry about that, I think the file's been flagged - Mediafire's showing me some kind of copyright notification, which it hasn't done before! I'll try to figure out whether I can fix it, or maybe need to reupload. (Download from Vimeo should still be working ... I hope.) Thank you for letting me know!

Yes, it downloaded fine from Vimeo! (Well, for Vimeo levels of "fine": there's something about the way they code their links that doesn't play *quite* as it should with my machine. Which doesn't keep me from downloading it, fortunately.) But with that out of the way...

Thank you for the remaster of Dynamite (throw my hands up yay!) -- I enjoyed it lots the first time, and I'm glad of a prettier version. :-)

But oh, I *adore* Fast Car. Adore adore adore. In part: omg lesbians who with vigorous sex lives who want to get their hands all over each other omg! Also: aw, butch/femme! Also also: all my feelings about what makes Korra and Asami each so sexy as individuals! And I sniggered to find that I don't mind the show's love triangle clips at all when they've been recontextualized to have Mako horning in on Korra and Asami, haha! :-D

\o/ Thank goodness! I have no idea what I'd do if they both chose to hate me at the same time.

You're quite welcome! I'm glad you liked it enough to come back and get the nicer one - I was SO HAPPY when I finally got a set of logofree eps, and it was such a good feeling to be able to shine it up.

:D :D :D Thank you so, so much! I love Korra and Asami both and I ship it so bad, and in a lot of ways this was a really experimental vid for me, so I was soooooo nervous about it - I can't even tell you how happy I am that it worked for you. \o/ Haha, especially the love triangle clips; honestly this vid is basically what I was telling myself in my head through that entire subplot. :)

OMG, these are so great! Fast Car gives me so much joy :DDD KORRA/ASAMI 5EVER. Korra's big eyes after Asami shakes out her hair all sexy-like is my favourite bit. We're all right there with you, Korra.

:DDDD Haha, I'm glad you liked them! Korra/Asami makes me SO HAPPY, I had a blast vidding them, and I may or may not have actually laughed out loud when I got the idea to put those clips next to each other on the timeline and then watched them. (Also that was definitely what my face looked like when Asami was introduced. 110%.)
